Forecasts

Western Soldier (5/4), Trick Of The Tail (9/2), Johnny M (9/2), Paddy Elvis (5/1), Langton Wold (6/1), It's A Love Thing (12/1), Whozatgirl (12/1), Touch Of A Dragon (25/1), Swift Reply (40/1), At The Double (40/1), Ruleout (50/1), Blue Bear (150/1)

The market will no doubt reveal plenty with many of these making their hurdling debut, but preference is for JOHNNY M, who has experience on his side and shaped as if back in form prior to departing late on at Kilbeggan in July. Whozatgirl showed something to work on switched to hurdling after 4 months off at Kelso recently, so she's put forward as the main danger for her in-form yard, with Touch of A Dragon and Trick of The Tail rounding off the shortlist.
